Chapter 26 - Rage

Jack and Henry proceeded towards the management office, before claiming the prize of winning the race. Considering that Jack made all the prerequisites of participating in the race, and had even paid the registration fee, he was eligible to win the prize.

As for the amount of money that he was supposed to receive as the winner of the race, it amounted to a total of $100,000. This was an amount that was from the contribution of the registration, together with the amount that was earned from the spectators.

$100,000 was not the total amount of money that was accumulated from the crowd and the registration fees. Instead, it was just part of it. After all, the company had to make some money as well.

Jack did not have anything to say about the amount of money that he received. In any case, the moment that he received this money, he received a prompt from the system.

[You have earned $100,000. Multiplier applied. You receive $10 million.]

With that, on this day, Jack had managed to earn a total of $265 million. That was quite a huge amount of money, but it already had plans that were waiting.

After receiving the cash rewards that was directly transferred into Jack's account, the two siblings immediately left. They got inside Jack's black car, before Jack drove out of the racing tracks.

The moment that they got back home, they decided to take that moment to rest. Currently, they had not improved their bodies that much other than the exercises that they did occasionally.

So, they decided to rest for the night, and carry out the plans that they had already made the following day.

….

Philips residence.

Simon stood in front of his father with his head lowered. They were currently inside the living room of the Philip mansion.

At this moment, in front of Simon sat a man with an obese figure. He possessed rough beards but well maintained, together with short green hair and gray eyes.

At this moment, his face was nearly turning red, due to the anger that he was currently exhibiting. He was looking at Simon who was standing in front of him, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

"What did you tell me when you came here after losing your car and the money that you had been saving to buy another car?" The man asked.

"I… I told you that I was going to win, using the plan that I had already made. But things did not go out as I thought they would." Simon was a little flustered as he responded.

"You thought that it was going to work out? I gave you the benefit of doubt, thinking that you were going to do something for the family once. It is true that you went out and did something for the family. But instead of making the family earn something, you made us lose a share of our hotel, to our enemies!" The more that this man named Austin spoke, the more angry he became.

Simon on the other hand could not help but curse in his mind. What the heck was this old man talking about? Previously, when he came and informed his father about the plan that he was having, his father was obviously excited.

At that time, he even commended him for being bright, and that if he continued doing the same, contributing to the success of the family, it was possible that he might be considered for the next head of the family.

And during the time that he was about to start racing against Jack, he had asked his father for more money, and his father was more than willing to send him $2 million to be used as a stake.

As he thought of that time when his father was happily commanding him, even giving him hugs, Simon could not help but think that his father was changing too fast.

Was he not the one who had suggested that he should take more shares, and had it not been that Simon thought that 1% shares was enough, and more than that might lead to Jack backing out of the bet, his father might have allowed him to use even 20% of the shares of the hotel.

But now that everything had collapsed, his father was turning to blame him? What about himself? What about the suggestions that he had made? Was he not the one who had suggested that he should go and look for Oliver?

As he thought about Oliver, Simon could not help but grit his teeth in anger. That idiot managed to sneak away during the time that he was receiving first aid in the ambulance. By the time that Simon got there after dealing with Jack, he found that Oliver had already vanished.

If not for that, he would have already captured Oliver, and would have been punishing him by torturing him to the extent that he would be wishing for death, but would not see it.

"I don't really care what method you are going to use, but you have to make sure that you get the 1 percent share that was given to the Smith family. We cannot allow our enemy to enter into our company, no matter how small the impact will be.

If I got that 1% share, I would have been able to do a lot of damage to the Smith family. And now that they are going to get the share, we have to expect much more losses very soon." Austin continued.

He was feeling frustrated. Even though he was not saying it out loud, he was actually regretting not thinking things through. Back then, when Simon came with the idea, he thought that it was brilliant.

Additionally, thinking that Simon had already lost to Jack, and thinking about the rules that were set for the race, he thought that there was no problem for them to find a professional racing driver to participate in the race instead of Simon.

They were not supposed to reveal anything to Jack before the race started. That was the reason why he was so confident. But, he had forgotten about something. That was the fact that despite having been born 18 years ago, Jack and Henry had never made any big waves, and they were considered as geniuses.

According to the Intel that he had gotten about this too, they had never participated in gambling, and neither had they participated in anything like participating in a race that might end up with them dying or injured. That was something that Newton kept on boasting about.

It had been oversight from his part, but he could not blame himself, right? He had to find someone that he could vent his anger to.

Simon had no other choice but to keep on listening to his father lecturing him. He was lectured until his ears nearly bled due to how loud his father was talking.

It was only about 2 hours later that finally, it seemed that being obese did not allow Austin to continue with this. Otherwise, it was possible that he could have continued doing that for the rest of the night.

Having completed venting out the anger, it was finally time for him to think of a strategy that he was going to use in order to make sure that the Smith family did not manage to cause him too much damage.

It was Impossible for him to be able to stop them from causing the hotel to suffer some losses. The only thing that he could do was to try and mitigate the damage.

"I will have to find a way of getting the shares back from the Smiths. Even though the shares have not been given to them yet, it is impossible for me to be able to go against that. After all, I cannot go against the owner of Winding Driver Racing Track." Austin mumbled to himself.

....

The following day, after breakfast, Jack and Jack gathered. It was on this day that they were supposed to get the share from Simon, which was something that they were going to do later on.

But before that, they would have to purchase a few more skills from the system. And, Jack had already thought of something else.

"Hey Henry, is it possible for us to be able to get something that can improve the strength of our bodies? Previously, I had managed to get something called body strengthening solution from my system, which is something that managed to improve my strength." Jack asked.

"That is possible. But, for the things that can improve the strength level, they are extremely expensive in my system. Even the thing that costs the list is priced at $10 million." Henry replied helplessly.

Henry of course understood that paying just a few million dollars, or even a few hundred million dollars in order to be able to get stronger was not that much. That was especially so considering that Jack's system could enhance the amount of money that they could receive.

The two of them were extremely compatible with each other. They could support each other, by the use of the systems that they possessed.

Currently, they could obviously get something that could strengthen them, but it was not part of the plan. Additionally, it was not as if they were going to face anything dangerous anytime soon.

And, they could earn back the money that they would have invested in a little while, so, it was better for them to invest the money that they had earned the previous day in making sure that they stabilized the hotel that they wanted to start.

"I think that we should get two of those things that cost $10 million. That way, it should be quite easy for us to protect ourselves in case of an emergency." Jack suddenly said, surprising Henry.
